Cloud is the 52 00:02:05,117 --> 00:02:07,228 foundation of digital modernization . 53 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,480 Cloud has always been much more than 54 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,460 Jet I . Today you're going to see that 55 00:02:13,460 --> 00:02:15,627 you're joining me on the platform . We 56 00:02:15,627 --> 00:02:17,830 refer to a CVR this platform of 57 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:20,220 supporting nearly one million active D 58 00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:23,200 O . D users with voice , video and 59 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,280 check capabilities today is a cloud 60 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,070 based environment . It is rapidly scale , 61 00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:31,014 which is what we always wanted are 62 00:02:31,014 --> 00:02:33,014 clouds to be able to do to meet the 63 00:02:33,014 --> 00:02:34,959 needs and demands of the apartment 64 00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:37,300 specifically during the covert crisis . 65 00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:40,450 We have a diverse workforce . Everyone 66 00:02:40,450 --> 00:02:42,450 has been affected in very different 67 00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:44,339 ways . Some have been affected by 68 00:02:44,339 --> 00:02:46,339 having to take care of aging family 69 00:02:46,339 --> 00:02:48,117 members , others having limited 70 00:02:48,117 --> 00:02:50,228 childcare , and still others need the 71 00:02:50,228 --> 00:02:52,339 social distance . Because of personal 72 00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:54,160 health concerns . CVR has been 73 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,830 extraordinary collaboration tools in 74 00:02:56,830 --> 00:02:59,052 enabling colleagues and partners around 75 00:02:59,052 --> 00:03:01,890 the globe continuing d o d operations 76 00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:04,640 without interruption . Cbre's provide 77 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,870 the flexibility , support a more 78 00:03:06,870 --> 00:03:09,550 inclusive workforce , make people more 79 00:03:09,550 --> 00:03:11,660 connected and demonstrate the 80 00:03:11,660 --> 00:03:15,150 department's resiliency when challenged . 81 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,007 Normally , a program of this scale and 82 00:03:18,007 --> 00:03:20,062 complexity would take over a year to 83 00:03:20,062 --> 00:03:23,030 design , engineer and deploy . But the 84 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:25,330 extraordinary efforts by my fellow 85 00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,680 technologists across department have 86 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,100 led to the delivery of a CVR platform 87 00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,930 and under 60 days , while clay out 88 00:03:32,930 --> 00:03:34,930 cloud keep it . Billy's air vitally 89 00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:37,060 important more is required to ensure 90 00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:39,930 our servicemen and women are prepared 91 00:03:39,930 --> 00:03:42,940 for future threats . The NDS describes 92 00:03:42,940 --> 00:03:45,160 a potential future conflict in which 93 00:03:45,170 --> 00:03:47,392 adversaries seek to contest us in every 94 00:03:47,392 --> 00:03:50,480 domain in which we operate . We need to 95 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,800 be extraordinarily adaptable on the 96 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,200 future battlefield , not just in our 97 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,410 tactics and decision making . But in 98 00:03:57,410 --> 00:03:59,521 terms of our technical capabilities , 99 00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:01,662 we need to be able to push new 100 00:04:01,662 --> 00:04:03,718 capability to the warfighter , to be 101 00:04:03,718 --> 00:04:05,773 able to adapt to changing conditions 102 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,310 and respond to moves or adversaries 103 00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:11,160 might make our cloud strategy is an 104 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,216 uncritical neighbor of that vision , 105 00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:15,960 but it is not enough . D o d needs to 106 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,160 address the full range of changes 107 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,740 needed to support the rapid delivery of 108 00:04:20,740 --> 00:04:22,930 new capabilities into production 109 00:04:22,930 --> 00:04:26,320 systems . In software terms , this is 110 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,487 what we like to refer to his death set 111 00:04:28,487 --> 00:04:30,153 ups , which is delivering new 112 00:04:30,153 --> 00:04:32,630 functionality directly to our weapons 113 00:04:32,630 --> 00:04:35,040 systems . We have now moved into the 114 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,262 next phase of the digital modernization 115 00:04:37,262 --> 00:04:39,310 implementation , which encompasses 116 00:04:39,310 --> 00:04:41,970 amore comprehensive program of sock for 117 00:04:41,970 --> 00:04:44,150 modernization .

And so 420 00:17:24,430 --> 00:17:27,070 the conversation I find myself mawr 421 00:17:27,070 --> 00:17:29,610 involved with is how it's changing our 422 00:17:29,610 --> 00:17:32,020 way to bring people together quickly 423 00:17:32,020 --> 00:17:35,520 for meetings , readiness conversations , 424 00:17:35,740 --> 00:17:38,480 training exercises . But to your very 425 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,320 specific question , yes , there is a 426 00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:45,070 active conversation about what does to 427 00:17:45,070 --> 00:17:47,330 sustain teleworking environment look 428 00:17:47,330 --> 00:17:49,330 like we've now built this amazing , 429 00:17:49,330 --> 00:17:52,120 robust infrastructure , and so there's 430 00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,010 no doubt that we will be able to 431 00:17:54,010 --> 00:17:56,870 leverage that in the event that of the 432 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,320 future requires is too . But I believe 433 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,431 personally that we will be leveraging 434 00:18:01,431 --> 00:18:03,431 that to the very points that you're 435 00:18:03,431 --> 00:18:05,487 making around cost savings as well , 436 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,951 right ?

Um , 486 00:20:31,490 --> 00:20:33,480 we've always known that the cloud 487 00:20:33,670 --> 00:20:36,670 raised questions in terms of you know , 488 00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:40,220 how viable of a solution could be from 489 00:20:40,220 --> 00:20:42,276 a cyber defense strategy . And I can 490 00:20:42,276 --> 00:20:44,750 tell you the nice thing about having 491 00:20:44,750 --> 00:20:47,410 deploy CVR It gets very riel very 492 00:20:47,410 --> 00:20:49,850 quickly in terms of the tactics and 493 00:20:49,860 --> 00:20:52,520 techniques you have to deploy . So , 494 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,360 yes , is the adversary out there trying 495 00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:57,527 to compromise this ? Absolutely .

How is the CEO , um , 508 00:21:32,990 --> 00:21:35,212 more broadly implementing cyber hygiene 509 00:21:35,420 --> 00:21:37,560 practices ? I know that that's been a 510 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,610 subject of concern . And , yeah , 511 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,860 oversight reports , you know , it's 512 00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:46,190 it's interesting I look back to when 513 00:21:46,190 --> 00:21:49,400 the term cyber high jeans was first 514 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,400 created many years ago , and I look 515 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,511 back in my own career and think about 516 00:21:53,511 --> 00:21:55,289 what that meant years ago . The 517 00:21:55,289 --> 00:21:57,870 fundamentals haven't changed , you know . 518 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,400 Today it's still about smart use of 519 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,370 computing assets , how you log on how 520 00:22:04,370 --> 00:22:07,240 you secure your password and I d what 521 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,407 you click on which you shouldn't click 522 00:22:09,407 --> 00:22:11,240 on . What you should share . You 523 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,129 shouldn't share . Obviously , the 524 00:22:13,129 --> 00:22:15,073 teleworking has just added another 525 00:22:15,073 --> 00:22:17,073 dimension to cyber high jeans , and 526 00:22:17,073 --> 00:22:19,018 that now you've got the element of 527 00:22:19,018 --> 00:22:20,740 people working from their home 528 00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:22,684 environment , which obviously sits 529 00:22:22,684 --> 00:22:24,860 outside of our direct network domain . 530 00:22:25,230 --> 00:22:28,810 So we've had to expand and already well 531 00:22:28,810 --> 00:22:31,032 known list things that we ask people to 532 00:22:31,032 --> 00:22:34,080 do when working from home in terms of 533 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,150 securing their device , ensuring that 534 00:22:37,150 --> 00:22:39,094 they're doing the work from a safe 535 00:22:39,094 --> 00:22:41,480 location . Ask him to make sure they're 536 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,040 not , um , connecting to the network 537 00:22:45,050 --> 00:22:47,090 and using the assets in an 538 00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:49,340 inappropriate way for personal use and 539 00:22:49,340 --> 00:22:51,550 putting strain into our environment . 540 00:22:52,140 --> 00:22:54,307 But I would say the fundamentals Lorne 541 00:22:54,307 --> 00:22:56,830 of cyber high genes that have been in 542 00:22:56,830 --> 00:22:59,680 play for a number of years are the same 543 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,130 conversations were holding today , with 544 00:23:02,130 --> 00:23:04,690 the added element of it just being from 545 00:23:04,690 --> 00:23:05,968 someone's home .

There and asked about the 551 00:23:22,733 --> 00:23:24,900 four letter word jet I that we all are 552 00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:27,011 probably a little bit interested in . 553 00:23:27,011 --> 00:23:29,011 But let me tick it little broader , 554 00:23:29,011 --> 00:23:31,233 because I understand that you destroyed 555 00:23:31,233 --> 00:23:31,200 from which you can say about it . So 556 00:23:31,740 --> 00:23:34,220 two things that they want to start with 557 00:23:34,270 --> 00:23:36,800 one thing but to kind of related things 558 00:23:37,050 --> 00:23:39,520 with the tower . Scheduled timing for 559 00:23:39,530 --> 00:23:42,130 if you will fixing rereleasing the jet . 560 00:23:42,130 --> 00:23:44,520 I solicitation any any details on 561 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,576 changes you've been telling that you 562 00:23:46,576 --> 00:23:49,820 plan on making to the solicitation . So , 563 00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:52,290 as you know , and it has been very 564 00:23:52,290 --> 00:23:56,030 public . Um , the judge 565 00:23:56,030 --> 00:24:00,030 put a a stay , asked us to go back and 566 00:24:00,090 --> 00:24:03,690 specifically look at a section of 567 00:24:03,690 --> 00:24:07,560 the RPI solicitation we 568 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,030 committed to turn that around and have 569 00:24:11,030 --> 00:24:14,540 that out . Allow each of the two 570 00:24:14,550 --> 00:24:17,820 respondents then to respond back . Um , 571 00:24:17,940 --> 00:24:21,120 our goal is to finish the evaluation of 572 00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:23,960 those responses . Um , in August , 573 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,700 which was always our plan . And so we 574 00:24:26,700 --> 00:24:30,270 are still on schedule to , 575 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,320 um I guess you could say do a re 576 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,250 announcement of our intentions to 577 00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:38,720 award probably sometimes towards the 578 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,400 very end of August , barring any last 579 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,020 minute unforeseen additional issues 580 00:24:46,020 --> 00:24:49,990 that are raised . Thank 581 00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:52,212 you . Appreciate that . And then , more 582 00:24:52,212 --> 00:24:54,268 broadly , when it comes to cloud , I 583 00:24:54,268 --> 00:24:56,323 think the air Force example that you 584 00:24:56,323 --> 00:24:58,323 brought up regarding software , but 585 00:24:58,323 --> 00:25:00,657 also platform one . What does that mean ? 586 00:25:00,657 --> 00:25:02,768 More broadly saying that Platform one 587 00:25:02,768 --> 00:25:04,712 is an enterprise service now . But 588 00:25:04,712 --> 00:25:06,546 how's that kind of fit into this 589 00:25:06,546 --> 00:25:09,780 broader cloud strategy ? Actually , it 590 00:25:09,780 --> 00:25:11,669 helps to reinforce what I've been 591 00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:13,600 trying to get out into the public 592 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,510 domain now for the last year and 1/2 593 00:25:16,510 --> 00:25:18,950 and that is the department offense was 594 00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:20,740 never gonna be about a single 595 00:25:20,750 --> 00:25:23,120 enterprise Cloud . It was gonna be 596 00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:25,220 about a multi cloud , multi vendor 597 00:25:25,220 --> 00:25:28,320 environment . A report that released 598 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,050 the Congress at the end of last year 599 00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:34,190 articulated very clearly that the D o D 600 00:25:34,190 --> 00:25:38,100 C I o office over time would start to a 601 00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:42,020 point . Mawr clouds as certify clouds 602 00:25:42,020 --> 00:25:44,210 across department defense . So that's 603 00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:45,988 what we've done now it's really 604 00:25:45,988 --> 00:25:48,154 interesting about and what we did with 605 00:25:48,154 --> 00:25:51,040 the Air Force here again . But people 606 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,360 become fixated on the the cloud 607 00:25:54,370 --> 00:25:56,890 aspect of this . If you really dig 608 00:25:56,890 --> 00:25:58,834 under the covers , what was really 609 00:25:58,834 --> 00:26:00,946 important in that announcement ? WAAS 610 00:26:00,980 --> 00:26:04,840 Air Force truly has matured this vision 611 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,007 that I have been an advocate for for a 612 00:26:07,007 --> 00:26:09,300 long , long time around deaths at cops . 613 00:26:10,250 --> 00:26:12,139 They've done a lot of work in the 614 00:26:12,139 --> 00:26:15,610 entire software development process in 615 00:26:15,610 --> 00:26:17,890 various tools and techniques that we 616 00:26:17,890 --> 00:26:20,000 are advocating is part of our agile 617 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,840 workforce . And so when we announced 618 00:26:22,850 --> 00:26:25,670 Air Force One so I think people picked 619 00:26:25,670 --> 00:26:29,070 up on the word the cloud what the big 620 00:26:29,070 --> 00:26:31,610 message there was . We actually for the 621 00:26:31,610 --> 00:26:35,310 first time had designated a cloud 622 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,920 across d o d That could be used for a 623 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,260 common way of doing def sec ups . 624 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,700 Okay ? Yeah , Jason . Thank you , 625 00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:52,922 Jason . Let's start move to Carla Bad , 626 00:26:52,922 --> 00:26:55,470 please . Um , had Yes . Thanks for 627 00:26:55,470 --> 00:26:57,581 doing this . I wanted to ask a little 628 00:26:57,581 --> 00:26:59,637 bit about five G . You said that the 629 00:26:59,637 --> 00:27:01,859 selection of the 1st 4 basis was in the 630 00:27:01,859 --> 00:27:04,026 final phase , with the contracts going 631 00:27:04,026 --> 00:27:06,192 to be awarded by the end of the year . 632 00:27:06,192 --> 00:27:08,359 Can you just kind of update us on what 633 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:08,310 that means ? Because it was my 634 00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:10,477 understanding that for the 1st 4 bases 635 00:27:10,477 --> 00:27:12,699 were actually announced and selected in 636 00:27:12,699 --> 00:27:15,560 October of last year or so . Kind of 637 00:27:15,570 --> 00:27:18,280 chopped . You talk it through what's 638 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,224 happened since October . And where 639 00:27:20,224 --> 00:27:22,500 exactly are we are now ? Now on what's 640 00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:24,980 left to be done ? Yeah . I really 641 00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:27,147 appreciate the question . Like I think 642 00:27:27,147 --> 00:27:30,000 I can help . Probably clear up maybe 643 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,620 some of the confusion there . So what 644 00:27:32,620 --> 00:27:35,890 was announced last October was the fact 645 00:27:35,890 --> 00:27:39,200 that the d . O . D . Was committed to 646 00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:42,360 embracing five G and doing that through 647 00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:45,710 a series of experiments . Step one of 648 00:27:45,710 --> 00:27:47,821 that was what we always said that our 649 00:27:47,821 --> 00:27:49,877 approach was based on three things . 650 00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:53,130 How do we accelerate using five G ? How 651 00:27:53,130 --> 00:27:55,960 do we operate through using five G and 652 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,820 how do we innovate ? We realize that 653 00:27:58,820 --> 00:28:01,320 the most effective way to do that was 654 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,320 to select some bases . So the 655 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,100 announcement last October was all about 656 00:28:06,540 --> 00:28:08,750 announcing the basis we were going to 657 00:28:08,750 --> 00:28:12,080 work with that then subsequently led 658 00:28:12,540 --> 00:28:16,330 to , then announcing what type of 659 00:28:16,330 --> 00:28:19,190 work were we going to do on those bases ? 660 00:28:19,510 --> 00:28:21,621 So just to give you an example here I 661 00:28:21,621 --> 00:28:23,880 written down a few notes at Hill Air 662 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,102 Force Base . We said we were gonna work 663 00:28:26,102 --> 00:28:29,000 on dynamic spectrum sharing at Joint 664 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,290 Base . Lewis McChord We said , We're 665 00:28:32,290 --> 00:28:35,260 gonna work on Augmented Reality Naval 666 00:28:35,260 --> 00:28:37,482 Base , San Diego , California we said , 667 00:28:37,482 --> 00:28:39,950 We're gonna work on smart warehousing . 668 00:28:40,740 --> 00:28:42,990 That's what that was all about . The 669 00:28:42,990 --> 00:28:45,270 next phase , after we designated the 670 00:28:45,270 --> 00:28:48,000 bases and after we designated what was 671 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,167 the work was gonna current those bases 672 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,600 was then to put requests out to 673 00:28:53,610 --> 00:28:56,590 industry , for them to come back and 674 00:28:56,590 --> 00:28:59,230 share with us how they would go about 675 00:28:59,350 --> 00:29:01,950 supporting us with the technology 676 00:29:01,950 --> 00:29:04,420 solution and software services they 677 00:29:04,420 --> 00:29:07,110 have . We're now at the point we're 678 00:29:07,110 --> 00:29:10,310 ready to make the awards to 679 00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:14,110 specific companies to help us work on 680 00:29:14,110 --> 00:29:16,830 those bases on those specific five G 681 00:29:16,870 --> 00:29:19,160 projects . Hopefully , that clickers it 682 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,600 up . Okay ? Yes , thank you . That is 683 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,433 helpful . And if I can follow up 684 00:29:24,433 --> 00:29:27,450 quickly on Travis's question about the 685 00:29:27,450 --> 00:29:29,730 teleworking situation and we'll know 686 00:29:29,730 --> 00:29:31,897 from the Navy , had told us last month 687 00:29:31,897 --> 00:29:34,260 that he had identified some positions 688 00:29:34,260 --> 00:29:36,371 in his office that could be permanent 689 00:29:36,371 --> 00:29:38,538 teleworking positions created a list . 690 00:29:38,538 --> 00:29:40,538 Is that when you say that there are 691 00:29:40,538 --> 00:29:42,593 talks going , a conversations taking 692 00:29:42,593 --> 00:29:44,760 place , Have you actually formulated a 693 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,649 list of specific positions in the 694 00:29:46,649 --> 00:29:48,871 Pentagon or within D O . D . That could 695 00:29:48,871 --> 00:29:51,093 be permanent teleworking positions that 696 00:29:51,093 --> 00:29:52,871 people wouldn't have to move to 697 00:29:52,871 --> 00:29:55,093 Virginia ? Yeah , I I specifically have 698 00:29:55,093 --> 00:29:57,371 not been involved in developing a list . 699 00:29:57,371 --> 00:30:00,210 The conversations that I find myself in 700 00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:04,070 arm or of if we are to to use this 701 00:30:04,330 --> 00:30:06,450 tool and capability going forward , 702 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,040 what additional capabilities can you 703 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,210 the c I o . Help us with ? How do we 704 00:30:13,210 --> 00:30:16,180 ensure the robustness , the security , 705 00:30:16,260 --> 00:30:19,300 the availability , the resiliency of 706 00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:21,400 the teleworking environment ? So I 707 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,567 don't find myself going to meetings so 708 00:30:23,567 --> 00:30:26,160 much sitting down and helping identify 709 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,920 a list . I find myself mawr explaining 710 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,230 how the technology could be used and 711 00:30:31,230 --> 00:30:33,230 how we're going to keep it robust , 712 00:30:33,230 --> 00:30:34,397 safe and resilient . 713 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,180 Thank you , Carla . Mariam , do you 714 00:30:41,180 --> 00:30:44,490 have a question ? I 715 00:30:44,490 --> 00:30:46,840 do . Um , thank you . Good morning , 716 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,350 sir . Um , I was wondering so , 717 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,380 um , about the depth sec office 718 00:30:53,430 --> 00:30:55,950 initiative , um , enterprise initiative . 719 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,730 Um , their mission is to train 720 00:30:59,740 --> 00:31:03,010 100,000 people within the year . It 721 00:31:03,010 --> 00:31:05,800 sounds somewhat unbelievable . Um , can 722 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,930 you explain a little bit about how , um , 723 00:31:08,930 --> 00:31:11,263 what the plan is for accomplishing that ? 724 00:31:12,290 --> 00:31:14,020 Um , I probably won't speak 725 00:31:14,020 --> 00:31:16,920 specifically to 100,000 . I can speak 726 00:31:16,930 --> 00:31:19,900 more broadly about what are the 727 00:31:19,910 --> 00:31:22,980 elements of success ? Um , one of them 728 00:31:22,980 --> 00:31:25,730 is obviously getting people trained to 729 00:31:25,730 --> 00:31:28,600 know how to use the environment . But 730 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,950 there are some pre requisites to that 731 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,950 that I know the Air Force has been 732 00:31:33,950 --> 00:31:36,670 working on as well as Pete ranks , who 733 00:31:36,670 --> 00:31:39,900 heads up our cloud program office are 734 00:31:39,900 --> 00:31:42,220 working on . And , for example , these 735 00:31:42,220 --> 00:31:44,630 include things like , if we say we're 736 00:31:44,630 --> 00:31:47,240 gonna have a large number of people 737 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,296 trained , that means they have to be 738 00:31:49,296 --> 00:31:51,518 trained against some sort of a deaf sex 739 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,200 reference architecture . So last year , 740 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,720 there was a lot of work done to create 741 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,900 what we were calling the design 742 00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:03,240 playbook . Second of all was 743 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,970 in designating Platform one . There was 744 00:32:07,970 --> 00:32:10,690 works you then had to do to go through 745 00:32:10,690 --> 00:32:13,390 and start conversations up . Remember , 746 00:32:13,390 --> 00:32:15,557 it's not only training our own folks , 747 00:32:15,740 --> 00:32:17,629 but it's working with the defense 748 00:32:17,629 --> 00:32:20,400 industrial base on how they could take 749 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,820 advantage of this environment . So it's 750 00:32:22,820 --> 00:32:25,270 been a significant amount of work going 751 00:32:25,270 --> 00:32:27,620 into working with an S . For example , 752 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,420 on How do you set up the def sec office 753 00:32:31,420 --> 00:32:33,587 environment , for example , of the Air 754 00:32:33,587 --> 00:32:35,940 Force that the defense industrial base 755 00:32:36,030 --> 00:32:38,430 can use ? Then there's these things 756 00:32:38,430 --> 00:32:40,597 called code blueprints . For my part , 757 00:32:40,597 --> 00:32:42,763 our life , we used to refer to them as 758 00:32:42,763 --> 00:32:45,120 designed templates the power of death 759 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,530 SEC offs . The real power is getting 760 00:32:48,540 --> 00:32:51,310 developers out of the world of creating 761 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,200 everything as original code , the 762 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,560 taking the most common reuse code 763 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,360 elements , putting them into what we're 764 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,990 calling these code blueprints and then 765 00:33:02,990 --> 00:33:05,900 allowing them for reuse . So when you 766 00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:08,260 think about when we say we're training 767 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,800 100,000 people or whatever , what we're 768 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,911 really doing is you're saying , Hey , 769 00:33:12,911 --> 00:33:14,660 we have got to give them the a 770 00:33:14,670 --> 00:33:17,030 reference architecture . We've got to 771 00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:19,540 figure out how to bring in the defense 772 00:33:19,540 --> 00:33:22,290 industrial base into this , and we've 773 00:33:22,290 --> 00:33:24,680 gotta then have these pre defined 774 00:33:25,030 --> 00:33:28,270 blueprints available for them . And 775 00:33:28,270 --> 00:33:30,840 then the last thing we're working on is 776 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,690 if you can create all that , we also 777 00:33:33,690 --> 00:33:35,801 want to try to solve once and for all 778 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,560 this idea of ongoing global directory 779 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,080 or the identity that you carry when you 780 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,130 sign in and use an application . So 781 00:33:45,130 --> 00:33:47,420 another foundational thing is , how do 782 00:33:47,420 --> 00:33:49,760 we train people when they write new 783 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,060 applications using blueprints to the 784 00:33:53,380 --> 00:33:55,850 the Reference Architecture that they're 785 00:33:55,860 --> 00:33:58,260 also using the new identity 786 00:33:58,750 --> 00:34:01,430 authentication service that allows 787 00:34:01,430 --> 00:34:03,920 someone toe only sign in once with the 788 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,880 correct identity . So for me , the way 789 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,990 you get 100,000 people trained is a 790 00:34:08,990 --> 00:34:11,480 bunch of pre requisite things that have 791 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,369 to be done upfront that make that 792 00:34:13,369 --> 00:34:17,060 training easier and more standardized . 793 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,710 Got you . Thank you . Um and then 794 00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:22,776 forgive me . My follow question is a 795 00:34:22,776 --> 00:34:24,930 little bit , um , office like here , 796 00:34:24,930 --> 00:34:27,120 But , um , you mentioned the mission 797 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,780 partner environment with the airports , 798 00:34:29,790 --> 00:34:32,550 um , launching by 2028 years already , 799 00:34:32,550 --> 00:34:34,820 structures and police . Is that to be 800 00:34:34,820 --> 00:34:37,310 seen a sort of an outgrowth from the 801 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,590 the platform . One work . Um Well , 802 00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:42,534 those be Can you explain how those 803 00:34:42,534 --> 00:34:44,701 might be ? Yeah , you know , I would . 804 00:34:44,780 --> 00:34:47,400 I would say there's elements of the 805 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,980 technology in platform one that will 806 00:34:49,980 --> 00:34:52,270 apply to what we call M p e of the 807 00:34:52,270 --> 00:34:55,160 mission partners environment . But what 808 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,440 this really is is this is just the next 809 00:34:57,450 --> 00:35:01,450 generation of how we communicate with 810 00:35:01,450 --> 00:35:04,920 her ally partners in a world where we 811 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,031 recognize that if we're going to show 812 00:35:07,031 --> 00:35:09,550 up on the day as a collective , 813 00:35:09,940 --> 00:35:13,130 singular force that the current 814 00:35:13,130 --> 00:35:16,990 generation of network and communication 815 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,167 and secure communication channels that 816 00:35:19,167 --> 00:35:21,540 we use are gonna need to be much more 817 00:35:21,540 --> 00:35:23,860 robust . So I kind of refer to this is 818 00:35:23,860 --> 00:35:27,540 the next generation of how we fight 819 00:35:27,550 --> 00:35:29,717 with our and communicate with our ally 820 00:35:29,717 --> 00:35:33,110 partners . It may use elements of the 821 00:35:33,110 --> 00:35:35,770 technology from platform one , but you 822 00:35:35,770 --> 00:35:37,714 should kind of hold that These are 823 00:35:37,714 --> 00:35:39,826 distinctively different programmes of 824 00:35:39,826 --> 00:35:42,960 work . Very much . 825 00:35:44,940 --> 00:35:47,051 Thank you . Marry him . Let's go next 826 00:35:47,051 --> 00:35:50,970 to Erin . Greg , can you guys 827 00:35:50,970 --> 00:35:53,520 hear me ? You hear you find Aaron . 828 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,760 Good morning . Good morning , Dana . 829 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,982 Thank you . Thank you so much for doing 830 00:35:57,982 --> 00:36:01,500 this . Um , so my question the Devi 831 00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:03,444 cares expending plan submitted the 832 00:36:03,444 --> 00:36:05,556 Congress in early June . Mention that 833 00:36:05,556 --> 00:36:07,722 DEA D would be quote expanding ongoing 834 00:36:07,722 --> 00:36:09,611 commercial solutions that provide 835 00:36:09,611 --> 00:36:11,820 remote access to Nipper Net and Super 836 00:36:11,820 --> 00:36:15,680 Net . Could you elaborate on that ? I 837 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,180 think what we were referring to um , 838 00:36:18,490 --> 00:36:21,070 I'm kind of go back and recall when we 839 00:36:21,070 --> 00:36:24,530 put that together . At the time we did 840 00:36:24,530 --> 00:36:27,640 that , we were in the early days of 841 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,340 what is now become CVR , 842 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,440 and we knew that CVR had the potential 843 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,820 to become a very large , robust , um , 844 00:36:37,830 --> 00:36:40,520 environment . You know , I remember . 845 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,853 We first stood it up . We thought , boy , 846 00:36:42,853 --> 00:36:44,853 we could get 100,000 people on this 847 00:36:44,853 --> 00:36:47,020 thing . This would be great . But then 848 00:36:47,020 --> 00:36:49,131 we stopped . It said , Well , what if 849 00:36:49,131 --> 00:36:51,076 this thing was to grow to be a lot 850 00:36:51,076 --> 00:36:53,740 bigger ? Do we have the right funds to 851 00:36:53,740 --> 00:36:57,700 support a much larger , robust on 852 00:36:57,700 --> 00:37:00,760 commercial solution ? And so I think 853 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,927 what we referring to back then was the 854 00:37:02,927 --> 00:37:06,200 potential that of CVR took off , which 855 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,256 it did that we're gonna need to make 856 00:37:08,256 --> 00:37:10,422 sure we have the right . It's not only 857 00:37:10,422 --> 00:37:12,089 about the right money for the 858 00:37:12,089 --> 00:37:14,370 infrastructure and the licenses , but 859 00:37:14,370 --> 00:37:16,960 to maintain a CVR environment for 860 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,520 collaborations for chat rooms for teams 861 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,970 being stood up . There's a whole 862 00:37:22,970 --> 00:37:25,240 background infrastructure support that 863 00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:27,407 has to be stood up in that environment 864 00:37:27,407 --> 00:37:29,462 as well . And so part of the funding 865 00:37:29,462 --> 00:37:31,690 was how do you make sure this could be 866 00:37:31,690 --> 00:37:34,530 a robust , ongoing solution across the 867 00:37:34,530 --> 00:37:36,697 department ? Hopefully , that helps to 868 00:37:36,697 --> 00:37:39,040 clarify . It does . Thank you . 869 00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:43,661 So I guess as a follow up , just just 870 00:37:43,661 --> 00:37:45,800 kind of broadening that . How is this 871 00:37:45,810 --> 00:37:48,160 current ? Uh , I guess remote work 872 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,750 situation involving breast into . How 873 00:37:50,750 --> 00:37:52,972 has that changed ? How ? Your office is 874 00:37:52,972 --> 00:37:55,700 looking at , uh , certain restricted 875 00:37:55,700 --> 00:37:57,644 information being stored locally . 876 00:37:57,644 --> 00:38:00,350 Verses allowing more remote access has 877 00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:02,611 been opened up in any way . Would you 878 00:38:02,611 --> 00:38:06,330 say , um , that is an ongoing 879 00:38:06,820 --> 00:38:08,931 conversation . So if you ask me right 880 00:38:08,931 --> 00:38:11,010 now , So Danny of guys have created 881 00:38:11,010 --> 00:38:13,121 this environment , you got close to a 882 00:38:13,121 --> 00:38:15,650 1,000,000 people using it in whole new 883 00:38:15,650 --> 00:38:18,850 ways . What is the big you know , work 884 00:38:18,850 --> 00:38:21,560 that still lies ahead ? Um , you know , 885 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,750 what we've created is a kind of 886 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,050 unclassified version of 887 00:38:27,050 --> 00:38:29,700 collaboration , but we've always 888 00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:31,922 recognized that where we really need to 889 00:38:31,922 --> 00:38:34,033 move . This is from kind of . We call 890 00:38:34,033 --> 00:38:35,700 on aisle two to an I . L five 891 00:38:35,700 --> 00:38:38,250 environment that has all the robust 892 00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:40,444 capabilities that you would expect 893 00:38:40,610 --> 00:38:43,260 where you could do much more secure 894 00:38:43,260 --> 00:38:45,830 types of collaboration . Now , the 895 00:38:45,830 --> 00:38:48,580 trick in doing that is you don't want 896 00:38:48,580 --> 00:38:51,180 to lose the goodness of how we've been 897 00:38:51,180 --> 00:38:54,440 able to allow people to work off net , 898 00:38:54,450 --> 00:38:58,270 so speak from their home from their own 899 00:38:58,270 --> 00:39:01,500 types of devices . But how do you now 900 00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:05,170 transition to an I l file world , which 901 00:39:05,170 --> 00:39:07,600 locks down things and a lot more 902 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,767 restrictive way and obviously for very 903 00:39:09,767 --> 00:39:12,780 good reasons . So there's a lot of 904 00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:15,750 pilots going on right now on how we 905 00:39:15,750 --> 00:39:19,320 pivot CVR from kind of an aisle to 906 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,130 world to an I l five world between now 907 00:39:23,130 --> 00:39:25,352 and I'm going to say towards the end of 908 00:39:25,352 --> 00:39:27,574 this year . And so , if you were to ask 909 00:39:27,574 --> 00:39:29,741 me what is the big heavy lifting we're 910 00:39:29,741 --> 00:39:31,770 working on right now is how do we 911 00:39:31,780 --> 00:39:34,540 actually do that ? Pivot from an aisle 912 00:39:34,540 --> 00:39:36,140 to to an Aisle five world . 913 00:39:39,620 --> 00:39:42,760 Okay . Thank you . Thank you . Air . 914 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,030 And let's move next to ah Lee Hudson . 915 00:39:47,620 --> 00:39:49,880 Hi . Thanks for doing this . Um , So 916 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,620 you mentioned , uh , Jake and pot warm 917 00:39:52,620 --> 00:39:55,580 one on . And I was curious on how the 918 00:39:55,580 --> 00:39:59,110 Jake is supporting jazzy to end 919 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,750 the A B . M s efforts . Yeah , 920 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,160 I've got some specific notes that I 921 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,160 thought that question might come up 922 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,720 today . So first of all , it's 923 00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:13,130 important to remember that when I first 924 00:40:13,130 --> 00:40:16,330 started speaking about Jake , Gosh , I 925 00:40:16,330 --> 00:40:18,730 guess is well over a year , year and 926 00:40:18,730 --> 00:40:21,940 1/2 ago . Lead conversation back then 927 00:40:21,940 --> 00:40:23,829 was How do you How do you build a 928 00:40:23,829 --> 00:40:25,718 startup organization with all the 929 00:40:25,718 --> 00:40:27,718 goodness and innovation of what you 930 00:40:27,718 --> 00:40:29,773 would get if you ready to go outside 931 00:40:29,773 --> 00:40:31,840 and see a new kind of young upstart 932 00:40:31,860 --> 00:40:34,130 occur ? And so back then , it was all 933 00:40:34,130 --> 00:40:36,300 about how do we go out and build an 934 00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:40,270 ecosystem of the academic world and 935 00:40:40,270 --> 00:40:42,270 private industry that we could work 936 00:40:42,270 --> 00:40:44,492 with knowing we would have the leverage 937 00:40:44,492 --> 00:40:47,610 extensively . That capability that led 938 00:40:47,610 --> 00:40:49,780 to some of the early work you might 939 00:40:49,780 --> 00:40:53,310 recall in our disaster recovery are 940 00:40:53,310 --> 00:40:56,040 predictive analytics that set the 941 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,830 foundation for one very important 942 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,062 addition that we need to put in place . 943 00:41:01,190 --> 00:41:03,357 And that was what was called the Joint 944 00:41:03,357 --> 00:41:05,357 Common Foundation . And that is the 945 00:41:05,357 --> 00:41:08,720 tools the library of capabilities that 946 00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:11,460 need to be in placed to then move to 947 00:41:11,460 --> 00:41:13,460 something that was a lot more 948 00:41:13,460 --> 00:41:16,820 complicated that is now a loudest 949 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,190 as we mature to say what we've always 950 00:41:20,190 --> 00:41:22,190 known we really need to be get Jake 951 00:41:22,190 --> 00:41:24,390 focused on is the joint all domain 952 00:41:24,670 --> 00:41:28,220 space . Um , and this is basically in a 953 00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:31,280 number of areas of jazz see to joint 954 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:32,890 fires , Electoral Matic , 955 00:41:33,190 --> 00:41:36,930 electromagnetic spectrum and , um , 956 00:41:37,310 --> 00:41:40,350 extradicted strategic mobility . So the 957 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,470 early one is if you think about the 958 00:41:43,470 --> 00:41:46,810 battlefield , there is a just tons of 959 00:41:46,810 --> 00:41:49,020 information . They're coming in to the 960 00:41:49,020 --> 00:41:51,780 command and control sites . They're 961 00:41:51,780 --> 00:41:53,947 coming in for radio , communications , 962 00:41:53,947 --> 00:41:55,930 text communications , variety of 963 00:41:55,930 --> 00:41:58,320 systems are feeding information in . 964 00:41:58,910 --> 00:42:01,077 You have people that are sitting there 965 00:42:01,077 --> 00:42:03,299 looking at the screens of data that are 966 00:42:03,299 --> 00:42:05,466 coming in , and they're having to pull 967 00:42:05,466 --> 00:42:07,577 out of all that information what they 968 00:42:07,577 --> 00:42:09,188 believe is the most relevant 969 00:42:09,188 --> 00:42:11,243 information they need to send onto a 970 00:42:11,243 --> 00:42:13,820 commander . So Commander can then take 971 00:42:13,830 --> 00:42:16,900 real time decisions . So this cognitive 972 00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:19,122 assistant , for example , we're working 973 00:42:19,122 --> 00:42:21,320 on right now is how do you use the 974 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,340 power ai to start going through all 975 00:42:24,340 --> 00:42:26,340 those feeds of information that are 976 00:42:26,340 --> 00:42:29,610 streaming in and be able to extract out , 977 00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:33,220 um , using natural language processing 978 00:42:33,220 --> 00:42:36,470 and other technologies to help give the 979 00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:39,820 combat the commander better rial 980 00:42:39,820 --> 00:42:42,460 time information on the battlefield . 981 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,310 So that's the current work we're doing . 982 00:42:45,900 --> 00:42:48,570 But jazz C two is made up of a bunch of 983 00:42:48,570 --> 00:42:50,681 different areas . And , like I said , 984 00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:52,950 including electromagnetic spectrum , 985 00:42:53,190 --> 00:42:55,440 how do we move forces ? How do we 986 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,890 target ? But right now it's all about 987 00:42:57,890 --> 00:43:00,080 how do you take streams of information 988 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,610 in and allow the machine and human to 989 00:43:02,620 --> 00:43:04,453 interact together to make better 990 00:43:04,453 --> 00:43:06,110 decisions ? Does that help ? 991 00:43:08,900 --> 00:43:11,122 Yes . That's really helpful . Thank you 992 00:43:11,122 --> 00:43:12,344 so much . All right . 993 00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:17,067 Okay . It looks like we only have time 994 00:43:17,067 --> 00:43:19,280 for one more question . Let's go toe 995 00:43:19,290 --> 00:43:20,810 Alan Mill Heuser . 996 00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:31,260 No question that this time . Okay , 997 00:43:31,260 --> 00:43:32,710 let's go to Mary Walsh . 998 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,500 We can't hear you , Mary . 999 00:43:48,300 --> 00:43:51,450 Okay , let's go to Kelsey .

Is unity 1004 00:44:04,300 --> 00:44:06,360 working on it ? Sort of own code 1005 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,150 repository of on these handy plug and 1006 00:44:09,150 --> 00:44:11,610 play solutions . Are you building from , 1007 00:44:11,610 --> 00:44:13,888 like , publicly available sources like , 1008 00:44:14,890 --> 00:44:17,930 Yeah , um , so the answer is yes and 1009 00:44:17,930 --> 00:44:21,390 yes . Um , obviously , when you think 1010 00:44:21,390 --> 00:44:23,501 about sources like get hub , it's all 1011 00:44:23,501 --> 00:44:25,612 about what we would call , You know , 1012 00:44:25,612 --> 00:44:28,230 the d o d version of it in terms of 1013 00:44:28,230 --> 00:44:31,620 highly secured . Um , but you are 1014 00:44:31,620 --> 00:44:33,676 absolutely right . At the end of the 1015 00:44:33,676 --> 00:44:36,020 day , if you look across 1016 00:44:37,090 --> 00:44:39,870 successful organizations that have 1017 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,140 really been able to get agile 1018 00:44:42,140 --> 00:44:45,210 development going one of the things 1019 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,616 that will be kind of a base to their 1020 00:44:47,616 --> 00:44:50,440 stories , Kelsey , is this idea that 1021 00:44:50,830 --> 00:44:54,470 they created a library is easy way for 1022 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,240 people to access what was already 1023 00:44:57,240 --> 00:45:00,330 developed by somebody else . How was it 1024 00:45:00,330 --> 00:45:03,250 put out there ? How easy was it to go 1025 00:45:03,250 --> 00:45:06,120 find it ? And then how easy is it to 1026 00:45:06,130 --> 00:45:09,470 integrate it into your , uh , work that 1027 00:45:09,470 --> 00:45:11,581 you're doing ? And these are a series 1028 00:45:11,581 --> 00:45:15,550 of code repositories , um , and so word . 1029 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,976 And the other thing we do know about 1030 00:45:18,490 --> 00:45:21,210 technologist that developed great code 1031 00:45:21,950 --> 00:45:23,950 is a love to share their coat , and 1032 00:45:23,950 --> 00:45:26,006 they want to make their code readily 1033 00:45:26,006 --> 00:45:29,500 available . So we're really focused on 1034 00:45:29,890 --> 00:45:33,190 how do you take things like AP Eyes 1035 00:45:33,450 --> 00:45:35,394 Micro Services , which kind of the 1036 00:45:35,394 --> 00:45:38,560 building blocks of reuse , where we're 1037 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,050 trying to get coders out of the world 1038 00:45:41,050 --> 00:45:43,480 of thinking that every time they need 1039 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,758 to make a call to something , you know , 1040 00:45:45,758 --> 00:45:48,120 a simple thing like someone's 1041 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,800 developing a repository to track troop 1042 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,210 movements and show the dots on a map . 1043 00:45:54,790 --> 00:45:57,012 Well , in the old days , you would have 1044 00:45:57,012 --> 00:45:58,957 had the coder having to go out and 1045 00:45:58,957 --> 00:46:01,012 actually write the code to put those 1046 00:46:01,012 --> 00:46:03,800 dots on the map and create the map 1047 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,967 overlay . Today . You don't have to do 1048 00:46:05,967 --> 00:46:08,320 that today . They could make calls to 1049 00:46:08,590 --> 00:46:11,960 already well defined technologies that 1050 00:46:12,230 --> 00:46:15,590 do mapping solutions and identity onto 1051 00:46:15,590 --> 00:46:17,590 those maps . And so that's a really 1052 00:46:17,590 --> 00:46:20,440 good example of the power of building 1053 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,740 these repositories . And it's back to 1054 00:46:22,740 --> 00:46:24,851 the earlier question about training . 1055 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,391 Part of training is how to get people 1056 00:46:27,391 --> 00:46:29,558 to know how to go in , put things into 1057 00:46:29,558 --> 00:46:32,010 these repositories , how toe tag them , 1058 00:46:32,290 --> 00:46:34,070 label them and then make them 1059 00:46:34,070 --> 00:46:36,126 accessible for other people to use . 1060 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,513 Hopefully , that helps healthy . 1061 00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:46,530 Okay , Thanks , Kelsey .
